The emergence of technologies like cloud computing, business analytics and social media has further accelerated the move of enterprises towards MPS to gain control of the office document environment, reduce cost, and transform the way office information is used. MPS is currently transforming the traditional role of managing print to a new and integrated workflow with IT infrastructure; ultimately allowing efficient business processes management. The rising paper cost, and the need to improve environmental sustainability and document security have significantly changed the way enterprises acquire and use their office printing equipment. MPS is now embracing next generation trends like BYOD and on demand solutions, creating meaningful dialogues between a heterogeneous printer fleet and off-premise/hosted software, and integrate multiple vertical solutions and workflows with the help of open multi-vendor MPS solution platforms. Based on open-layered, modular and SKU-based architecture, the next generation MPS Platforms can enable mobile printing ecosystems, interface with competitive Multi Function Printers, run vertical workflow solutions on any MFP device and address emerging technology needs like cloud enablement. Without a doubt, MPS is the way for organizations to reduce overall cost and achieve business efficiency. However, limited budgets and IT resources continue to be a hurdle for organizations to shift to MPS. In such a scenario, having a streamlined approach towards MPS will help organizations to reduce over-expenditure, and reduce downtime to ensure proper support.

We are featuring 20 most promising Managed Print Services Solution Providers, listing the best vendors and consultants who provide key technology solutions and services in this realm.
